Dedworth, given it's a civil penalty, do you know what happens if they refuse to pay up?
Just curious
I think they can finally get jailed - Joe posted some bits about a takeaway in Cumbria where the owner did end up in prison. To act as a proper deterrent the penalty should be changed from this civil penalty rubbish to a minimum of 6 months jail per illegal imposed on the owner(s) / all directors of the business. They would soon get the message.
